TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments described herein generally relate to embedded multi-die interconnect bridges.

BACKGROUND

Microelectronic devices such as IC (integrated circuit) packages include transistors and other electrical components such as capacitors. In some example embodiments, a given package includes a plurality of different IC dies that need to be interconnected. Indeed, new chip technologies require as many interconnections as possible between each of the dies.

However, current technologies are limited in the number of chips or dies that can be interconnected based on the size of the silicon chips or dies that can be manufactured. However, it would be desirable to identify a way to interconnect multiple dies in a way that is not limited by the size of silicon chips that can be manufactured.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following description and the drawings sufficiently illustrate specific embodiments to enable those skilled in the art to practice them. Other embodiments may incorporate structural, logical, electrical, process, and other changes. Portions and features of some embodiments may be included in, or substituted for, those of other embodiments. Embodiments set forth in the claims encompass all available equivalents of those claims.

In some example embodiments, it would be beneficial to connect multiple dies in a way that is not limited by the size of silicon that can be produced. One such method is the embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB).

The EMIB is a silicon component that is embedded into the substrate at the time that the substrate is manufactured. Each EMIB includes connections that allow rapid communication between two different chips/dies that are both connected to the EMIB by being attached to the substrate.

In some example embodiments, a given die includes a circuit that allows for high speed input and output from the die. In some example embodiments, the input-output circuit includes a buffer that uses a metal resistor for termination. In traditional chips/dies, the metal resistor ends up taking up to 50 percent of the space allocated to the input/output buffer on the chip.

In an example embodiment, that metal resistor can be incorporated into the EMIB. By including the metal resistors in the EMIB when it is fabricated, the input/output buffer function is unaffected, but the space needed on the silicon chip is greatly reduced, such that additional circuitry can be added or the total size of the die can be reduced.

In some example embodiments, fabricating the EMIB to include the metal resistor is cheaper than including the metal resistor on the chip. At the same time, additional space is freed on the silicon chip for additional circuitry and/or capabilities.

In some example embodiments, one or more capacitors are included on the EMIB. In some example embodiments, the capacitors are metal insulator capacitors and are placed in the EMIB as close to the dies as possible. The capacitors reduce impedance in the dies and allow additional integrated circuit designs that would be difficult or impossible without the additional impedance provided by metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors.

FIG. 1A show a representation of an example embodiment of a multi-die IC package 100 using silicon technology. In this example embodiment, there are two dies 104 and 106. Each die 104, 106 is connected to a larger piece of silicon 102. In some example embodiments, each die 104 and 106 is a processor die. In other example embodiments, the dies 104, 106 can be other IC circuits (e.g., memory). In yet other example embodiments, each die 104, 106 on the silicon 102 is of a different type such that the package is heterogeneous.

In some example embodiments, the dies (104 and 106) are attached to the silicon 102 as part of the silicon fabrication process. In this way, the total size of the silicon 102 layer restricts the number of total dies that can be included in the multi-die package.

FIG. 1B shows a representation of a cross-section of a multi-die IC package 100 in some example embodiments. In this example, two dies (106 and 104) are connected to a silicon 102 layer.

In some example embodiments, the communication between the connection between the dies 104, 106 and the silicon 102 is handled by one or more through silicon vias (TSV) 118 that are holes created through the silicon 102 and filled with a conductive material such as copper or solder. In some example embodiments, these TSVs are expensive to manufacture.

In some example embodiments, the dies 104, 106 communicate with each other through a series of interconnecting communication lines (for example, line 116) in the silicon layer 102.

In some example embodiments, the entire silicon layer 110 is connected to the substrate 120 through a series of connections. For example, in this case the silicon layer 102 is connected to the substrate 120 through a ball grid array 114. In some example embodiments, the ball grid array 114 connects to a series of conductive lines in the substrate 120 that deliver power to the silicon 102.

FIG. 2 shows a representation of an example embodiment of a multi-die IC package 200 using silicon technology. In this example embodiment, there are a plurality of dies (202-216). There is no requirement that each die 202-216 be the same size. In addition, the dies 202-216 themselves are not required to be included in the same manufactured silicon layer as in past multi-die packages.

Instead, each die 202-216 in the multi-die package 200 can be connected to at least one other die 202-216 via one or more embedded multi-die interconnect bridges (EMIBs) 220-1 to 220-10 that enable communication between two dies. The EMIBs 220-1 to 220-10 are embedded in a substrate. The one or more dies 202-216 are then connected (both physically and electronically) to the EMIBs 220-1 to 220-10 as needed to enable communication between different dies.

In this way, the size and complexity of a multi-die is not limited based on the size of silicon wafer that can be produced. Furthermore, each die can differ in capabilities or purpose (e.g., memory, processors, and so on).

FIG. 3 shows a representation of a cross-section of a multi-die IC package with an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) in some example embodiments. In this example, two dies (106 and 104) are connected via an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) 302 that is embedded in a substrate 306 layer.

In some example embodiments, the EMIB 302 is composed of silicon and includes one or more communication lines 312.

In some example embodiments, each die 104, 106 is connected to both the EMIB 302 and the substrate 306 layer with one or more physical and electrical connections 304. For example, solder can be used to create a physical connection between the dies (104 to 106) and the EMIB 302 and the substrate 306.

The substrate 306 includes one or more power supply lines 310 that connect to the one or more dies 104, 106 and provide needed power. In some example embodiments, the power supply lines 310 are composed of a conductive material (such as copper) and laid into the substrate 306 during the substrate manufacturing process.

In some example embodiments, the EMIB 302 is composed of silicon with conductive communication lines 312 laid within. In some example embodiments, the process for creating the EMIB 302 is much simpler and cheaper than creating an IC die because the complexity of the EMIB 302 is much less than that of a processor or memory component.

FIG. 4 shows a representation of a cross-section of an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) 402 in some example embodiments. In this example, the EMIB 402 includes a series of communication channels 406 through the bridge.

In some example embodiments, the channels 406 are created with conductive material and are placed in the silicon of the EMIB 402 during the fabrication of said EMIB 402.

In some example embodiments, the communication channels 406 allow information to be passed through the EMIB 402 from one die to another. In other example embodiments, the channels 406 can also provide needed power to the one or more dies attached to the EMIB 402.

In some example embodiments, one or more dies are connected to the EMIB 402 through connection points (e.g., 408). The one or more dies also receive power through connections with either the EMIB 402 or the organic substrate itself. Power is supplied from a power source to the one or more dies. However, to avoid noise in the signal, one or more decoupling capacitors are included in the device to reduce impedance and reduce the amount of noise in the power signal.

As chips and devices grow increasingly smaller, the need for such decoupling capacitors increases (as circuits are more and more sensitive to electrical noise within the circuit). The effectiveness of the capacitors in reducing noise is associated with the distance between the capacitors and the circuits for which noise needs to be reduced.

In some example embodiments, EMIBs are fabricated to include a capacitor 404. Including a capacitor 404 in the EMIB 402 provides capacitance at a very small physical distance from the die components that are connected to the EMIB 402.

In some example embodiments, the capacitor 404 is a metal-in-metal layer EMIB and does not include any other active devices (e.g., no active device layer).

With a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor 404 included with the EMIB, the capacitor is more effective at reducing impedance (and therefore noise) than if the capacitor was placed outside of the EMIB.

FIG. 5 shows a representation of a block diagram of an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) 500 in some example embodiments. In this example, the EMIB 500 connects to a first die 502 and a second die 504.

In this example, the EMIB 500 also includes a capacitor 506. As noted above, the capacitor 506 serves to reduce impedance, and therefore electric noise, in the power supply for the first die 502 and the second die 504. By incorporating the capacitor 506 (for example, a MIM capacitor) into the EMIB 500, the capacitor 506 is able to be much closer to the actual circuitry of the dies 502, 504 and thus is able to more fully reduce noise.

FIG. 6 shows a representation of a block diagram of an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) 602 in some example embodiments. In this example, the EMIB 602 includes two dies 603, 604 that are both connected to the EMIB 602. In this example, the dies 603, 604 each include an input/output buffer 606, 608, respectively, that assists with communication between the two dies 602 and 604 (and any other components).

Each input/output buffer 606, 608 includes a metal termination resistor 610 and 612. In the past, the metal termination resistor was located on the silicon of the die (e.g., the integrated circuit includes a metal resistor). However, the size of the integrated circuits used on dies has decreased more quickly than the size of metal resistors. As such, the metal resistors take an increasingly large percentage of the space on the die.

In this example, the metal termination resistors 610, 612 are placed on the EMIB 602. In this way, the termination resistors 610 and 612 no larger are placed on their respective dies (603 or 604). Instead, the termination resistors (610 and 612) are integrated into the EMIB 602 during the fabrication process. Because the EMIB fabrication process is significantly less expensive than fabricating a dense integrated circuit, locating the termination resistors (610 and 612) on the EMIB 602 reduces the cost of producing the dies 603, 604.

Similarly, the first die 603 and the second die 604 both have more room for the addition of additional circuitry, which adds additional capability to the integrated circuit.

In this example, the EMIB 602 also includes a communication line 614 between the termination resistor 610 associated with the first die 603 and the termination resistor 612 associated with the second die 604. Although shown as a single line 614, the communication pathways connecting the two termination resistors 610 and 612 may include more than one channel or line. The first die 603 and the second die 604 can then directly talk to one another.

FIG. 7 shows a flow diagram of a method of including additional components in an EMIB, in accordance with some example embodiments.

In some example embodiments, a multi-die interconnect bridge is created (702) that includes a termination resistor for an input/output buffer. The multi-die interconnect bridge is created using silicon and includes one or more communication channels for connecting two or more heterogeneous dies.

The multi-die interconnect bridge is then embedded (704) in an organic substrate. In some example embodiments, the process of creating the organic substrate also includes, as part of creating the substrate, creating the embedded interconnect bridge simultaneously.

Two or more dies are then connected (706) to the organic substrate, wherein at least one die is connected to the EMIB such that an input/output buffer in the die is connected to the termination resistor in the embedded multi-die interconnect bridge.
